How Greek Yogurt Converter Works?
The Greek Yogurt Converter works by dividing grams of Greek yogurt by 5.4 g per US teaspoon. Straining removes whey, so Greek yogurt packs about 4% heavier per spoon than regular yogurt.
Pick the fat level
0%, 2% and 5% Greek yogurts weigh within 2% of each other per spoon.
Enter grams
Type the weight, such as 170 g for a single-serve pot.
Pack and level
Press thick Greek yogurt into the spoon to remove air, then level.
Greek Yogurt Converter Formula
The Greek Yogurt Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of Greek yogurt ÷ 5.4.
tsp = g ÷ 5.4 | 1 tbsp = 16.2 g | 1 US cup ≈ 259 g
- 170 g pot ÷ 16.2 = 10.49 tbsp, about ⅔ cup.
- 30 g of Greek yogurt ÷ 16.2 = 1.85 tbsp.
- 1 tbsp of Greek yogurt = 16.2 g.
